Tyler is an amazing sitter. My pup Jesse, loved him and the meet and greet and practically pulled my arm off to get into his house on the day of booking. She had a great time with the other pups. Tyler sent pictures and Jesse was a very happy pup when she came home. 10 out of 10 will be booking again!

Tyler and family were fantastic. Gracie loved her time with them. She was exhausted when she got home. Tyler was very responsive and professional and Gracie didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Tyler!

Tyler provided a very welcoming indoor experience for my best friend along with a number of other dogs, quite the surprise.

I’ve known Tyler for 24 years now and for the entire time, even when we were kids, he’s been amazing with all of the dogs we’ve had around. He was especially helpful with our golden lab mixes Paulie and Mo, who were huge (100+ lbs), old (both made it to 14) and very energetic. Anytime we went on a trip or were away for the evening Tyler would come take care of the boys and they absolutely loved him, he did a terrific job and I’d trust him completely with any dog I get in the future.

We highly recommend Tyler for any assignments taking care of your pet! He stayed over with our black labrador “Bars” and took great care of him, took long walks, played ball and fed him in timely manner. Tyler was always on time and demonstrated great patience and genuine love for dogs. We trust him and know we can rely on him always. Bars is always excited to see you!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is very fluid and I get multiple breaks throughout the day, so there will be very little alone time for your dog, however, as a teacher and a coach I have some weekdays that are busier and your dog may be left in the home for 2.5 hour windows until I return from coaching. *currently on paternity leave and home all day*

Safety, trust & environment

I will ask you to provide any specifics in terms of pet care for your dog prior to having me pet-sit, unless there are no special requests. If no special requests are given, I take the dogs out about 4 times per day - twice for short bathroom trips, one short walk, and one extended walk. If the dog is older or lower energy I will adjust the extended walk to another short walk.

Pets

A typical day

I love playing fetch, tug of war, walking the dogs both short and for extended periods of time. As a runner, I am also willing to bring more energetic dogs along with me if noted by the owner.

Please be preemptive with any and all expectations you have for your dog. If there are any limitations or special accommodations, I need to know by the time you arrive. Food allergies or anything else as well.
